A Facebook Unfriend And Email I Received…

"Allen,

I regretfully had to unfriend you and wanted to tell you why. I don't approve of your sexual preference, but I thought I could overlook it and be friends with you on Facebook, mostly because I have always appreciated your great sense of humor. But you keep throwing it in everybody's face that you're gay with your gay posts and that's wrong.

Sincerely,

(i deleted his name)"

my response…

"(name withheld),

i'm glad you unfriended me if that is your mindset on gay people.

you say that i kept "throwing (being gay) in everybody's face", but i never felt that was the case of you throwing your heterosexuality in my face when i saw your posts of your anniversary…or posts of you with your family and numerous pics of you and your wife in loving poses, not to mention all of your religious posts. i simply thought that you were posting your happiness of being in love and showing your pride in your faith.

i find your lack of education and tolerance to be sad and pathetic and i hope that, one day, you achieve the above and learn compassion and understanding. when you do, feel free to send me a friend request. but be warned…i'll still be funny and gay when you do.
